Hi, I’m Marisa – a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the SF / Bay Area, who calls Northern California home. I specialize in capturing honest, heartfelt moments that feel as real as they did when they happened. My work blends timeless artistry with emotional storytelling, creating imagery that’s not only beautiful, but deeply nostalgic – my goal is to deliver honest imagery that you’ll treasure for generations to come.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me editing with a matcha, walking my dog, enjoying wine tasting with my friends, or chasing good food and outdoor adventures. Photography is more than a career to me—it’s a way to serve others by preserving the stories that matter most. I consider it a true honor to document such meaningful chapters and to be someone my clients can trust and feel completely comfortable around. Whether you're planning your wedding, celebrating a new season of life, or simply want to remember the now – I’m here to help you capture it with intention, warmth, and care.
Outdoor ceremonies > Indoor ceremonies! They offer the dreamiest natural light and an ambiance that feels open, warm, and effortlessly romantic.
Mix-and-match bridesmaid dresses are a favorite of mine! They add variety, show off each bridesmaids' individual style, and the blend of colors and textures makes for stunning, detail photos!
First looks are one of my favorite moments to capture! It's a moment that's quiet, intimate, and wholeheartedly true to you and your partner.
I'm a sucker for plated meals! It offers a more elevated, seamless dining experience, giving guests the chance to relax, stay seated, and enjoy meaningful conversation with their table without the interruption of serving themselves.
Seeing the world with my camera is something that I absolutely love doing. So, whether you’re getting married in you grandparent’s backyard, having an intimate wedding in a dream destination, or you want to revisit a location that’s meaningful to your relationship - I would be so honored to capture it for you.
Here are the locations I will be traveling to in the next several months. If you’re going to be in any of these places at the same time and would like to schedule a shoot with no travel fees, let’s start talking!
